President Trump gave an address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night, outlining his vision for America. "We are one people, with one destiny," Trump said, offering a markedly different tone than his inaugural address, which described a country in crisis.

He touted his executive actions, called again for the repeal and replacement of Obamacare and reiterated his position on immigration and national security.
